country, unless under the most urgent stress Of
circumstances. But that the Khedive would In
vent such tale to mislead the relief expedition
is easily to be supposed. He plotted with Zebehr
Pacha for the destruction of Gordon. His nlwiD
toward Emin Is well known. And he has already
shown more than willingness that Mr.. Stanley's
expedition should be rendered fruitless. However.
whether the tale be true not, Mr. Stanley will
proceed according to his own best Judgment and
Emin Pacha will probably be rescued in spite Of
open foes in Uganda and secret enemies at Cairo.
To put it mildly, Mayor Orestes Cleveland Of
Jersey City is demagogue Of the lowest type
In published letter. referring to the strike, he
goes for the corporations -monopollsts as he
calls them-and is particularly severe on "Pnker-
tons Hessans' If officials such as Mayor
Cleveland did their duty in protecting property
there would be no need for '"Hnkertons
Hessians."

The TRIBUNE on the occasion Of the death Of John Roach
The contractor did not fail and there nothing In the
action OF the Government to his failure He had all
the money from the Government that he could rghuy
expect.-tAlbany Argus.
Our friends the enemy persist in forgetting
that Mr.. Roach made assignment and went out
OF business. This Is ordinarily considered fail
ure. They also firmly decline 10 remember that
the cause Of that assignment or failure was the
staggering blow his credit received when At
torneyGeneral Garland declared that he was
liable for every dollar he had received on the
contract. Whom Mr.. Roach was alive it was
rather unscemly for his enemies in the press to
tell silly falsehoods about him. Now that he is
In his grave, can they not find some living target
for their defamation?
Colonel Rowland r. Hazard talks Just as con-
fdently Of his underground railroad scheme
as OF the old one which Justice Barrett hit on the
head with the Tunnel Act. Then it was the
District Railway Company now 1t Is the United
States Subway Company which the gallant
Colonel has folded to his heart for the purpose
of building the Vandenburgh road. And he says.
now as before, that this particular organiza-
tion settles the rapid transit question and that
there will be no legal obstacles In its way Per
haps Colonel Hazard can't see the trees for the
woods. II he does not soon get mixed up in legal
tangles he will be the most fortunate who
ever went into underground railroading in this

There will be rather novel sight to-day at q
Brooklyn church, where the members of theatre
cal company, Of whose features is large
ballet, will attend in body. This comes about
because the manager invited the minister to come
and his show the minister declined, but read
the manager lecture the immortality Of the
ballet and ended by extending an invitation to
his church in turn. He now says that he would
not have given the invitation if he had supposed
that it would be accepted. This Is hardly gra-
ciols, nor Is ID creditable TO the clergymans sin
certify. At any rate the theatrical show has got
n fine advertisement at the minister's expense and
the church to-day will be crowded No doubt
il would be well for theatrical people DO 60 to
church often; but it is seldom that churchgoing
is combined with what may be called first
class notice more effectively than in the present
instance.
